The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Soon, the forces in the court found out the location of the Grand Princess's Mansion.

Looking at the wide-open gate of the princess's mansion, the people who were sent out to investigate went back to report the situation.

Although Su Tang was the Grand Princess appointed by Emperor Jing himself, many officials were waiting and watching, wanting to see who would take the lead in visiting first.

Soon, the first person to visit the Grand Princess's Mansion arrived.

It turned out to be the old lady of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

In front of the gate of the Grand Princess's Mansion, the old lady's carriage of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion was parked outside the gate, and a visiting card from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion was also handed in.

As soon as Su Tang received the visiting card, she quickly rushed outside the house.

"Your Highness greets the Grand Princess." The old lady got off the carriage and bowed respectfully to Su Tang.

"Please don't do that, old lady. This will put a young generation at risk." The moment the old lady saluted, Su Tang quickly lifted up the old lady's arm.

The two smiled at each other, then walked into the princess's mansion arm in arm.

"It is said that this mansion was the residence of a princess of the previous dynasty and has been idle for a long time. I didn't expect that His Majesty would give it to you." The old lady walked while admiring the scenery in the mansion.

"Sure enough, the scenery in this mansion cannot be compared with the mansions of ministers in the capital."

"Well, it is said that most of the objects here have not been moved. Usually only the palace servants are left here to clean."

Su Tang took the old lady for a stroll in the garden of the princess's mansion. The old lady praised again: "This garden is not much worse than the imperial garden in the palace."

The Imperial Garden was the only place for all the concubines in the palace to enjoy the flowers and take a walk, but the big garden in the Princess's Mansion was only the Princess's garden.

By comparison, the garden of the princess's mansion seems to be much better than the imperial garden in the palace.

Su Tang smiled. Emperor Jing was indeed good to her, and his intention to compensate her was evident in his words.

It is said that among Emperor Jing's children, only the eldest prince and the second prince were awarded mansions in the capital, while none of the other princesses or princes had such an honor.

Su Tang led the old lady into the flower hall. After the palace maids served tea and snacks, the old lady smiled and said, "I came here today because I want to talk to you about something."

The old lady signaled Su Tang to dismiss everyone, and then said to Su Tang, "Your wedding with Ling Heng was very simple in Dahe Village. Ling Heng also wanted to have a wedding with you. I am here to propose marriage on behalf of Ling Heng."

As she spoke, the old lady took out a booklet from her sleeve and handed it to Su Tang.

Su Tang hesitated for a few seconds, then took the booklet and looked at it for a few seconds.

This turned out to be a list of betrothal gifts. The long list marked many properties that originally belonged to the Qi family, including shops in the capital and farms outside the capital, and there were quite a few of them.

Behind these lists of properties and real estate, there are many large items of property, as well as treasures such as gold, silver, and jade.

From this long list of betrothal gifts, Su Tang could feel the sincerity of the Qi family.

It is estimated that the old lady has written most of the Qi family’s property on it.

In fact, Su Tang has always held a nonchalant attitude towards her marriage with Qi Lingheng.

Deep down in her heart, a good marriage may give her a warm family, but it may also become a shackle that restricts her freedom.

Especially in this ancient society where men are powerful, men can have three wives and four concubines and enjoy endless power and desires, while women have to abide by their duties and silently bear the expectations and pressures of society.

Su Tang handed the betrothal gift to the old lady and said, "I will never share a husband with another woman in my life. The previous engagement with Qi Lingheng in Dahe Village is not valid. I have already told him so."

The old lady did not take the invitation Su Tang handed back. She grabbed Su Tang's hand and patted it, "You can rest assured about this. The Qi family has no precedent of taking concubines. You know, even Duke Dingguo has been a widower for many years, and he has never had other women around him, let alone the idea of remarrying."

"You can think about it again. Ling Heng has always wanted to give you a grand wedding, so the preparation time must not be short."

Su sugar......

After seeing the old lady off, Su Tang sat in the room staring at the list of betrothal gifts on the table.

Her mind was empty now, as if she couldn't think at all.

"Grand Princess, there are several stewards from the noble families' houses in the capital outside. They are all here to deliver visiting cards." Xia Mei's voice sounded outside the door.

Su Tang put the gift list back into the space, turned to look at the door, and asked, "Whose are these?"

"The wife of the Left Prime Minister, the wife of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the daughter of Censor Liu of the Censorate..." Xia Mei reported a long list of names, all of whom were the wives of officials in the capital.

Su Tang rubbed her eyebrows. She was just a princess who had just been canonized, but so many people came to hand in visiting cards.

Perhaps many of these people have defected to the Second Prince, but Su Tang is not clear about their positions yet, and does not want to be involved in the disputes within the palace.

She waved her hand and said to Xia Mei, "From now on, except for the Qi family, anyone else who comes to visit you can just say I'm not here, and you don't need to accept their visiting cards."

"Yes." Xia Mei responded and stepped back to deal with the matters ahead.

Su Tang changed into ordinary clothes in the house and then left through the back door of the princess's mansion.

In the Immortal Hall, Su Tang left Dongmei there to look after the store.

When we arrived at the pharmacy, it was indeed very deserted.

Dongmei saw Su Tang come in and told her what happened in the pharmacy.

In fact, there was nothing serious. There were just some patients with common illnesses who wanted to seek medical treatment here, but they were all sent away by Dongmei.

Life-threatening patients don’t come every day, and their pharmacy has never treated any patients before. Even if people are sick, they don’t dare to come here for treatment.

"It doesn't matter. There's no cost to run our shop anyway." Su Tang was not in a hurry.

"Oh, the name of this Immortal Hall sounds very domineering. I wonder how good its medical skills are." An old man's teasing voice came from outside the door.

Su Tang ignored it. This kind of sound had never stopped since the day the pharmacy opened.

Dongmei got up and walked to the door, where she saw an old man in tattered clothes looking around outside the pharmacy.

After the old man glanced outside the pharmacy, he started to walk inside.

Dongmei rushed over upon seeing this and asked, "Do you have a seriously ill patient at home?"

Dongmei is good at martial arts, so she can see that the old man is in good health.

The old man paused and looked at Dongmei, "No."

"Then please go somewhere else." Dongmei made a invitation gesture towards the door.

"Can't we enter this pharmacy if we're not sick? I just came here to debate medical skills with your doctor." The old man didn't stop, he looked at the decoration inside the pharmacy, and finally cast his gaze on Su Tang who was sitting with his back to them.

"Female doctor? Interesting."

Su Tang turned around and looked towards the door, and saw the old man at a glance.

However, when she saw the old man, a light of disbelief suddenly flashed in her eyes.

Su Tang walked a few steps to the old man and looked at his face carefully in the light coming in from the door.
